The American Ambassador (MacMurray) to the Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs (Aras) No. 10-A EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Ankara, May 29, 1936. MR. MINISTER: Referring to previous conversations regarding the liquidation of the unpaid balance of the account between Turkey and the United States, in the amount of $23,824.86, covering disbursements by the United States in connection with the representation by it of the interests of Turkey in England, France and certain other foreign countries during the period 1914 to 1917, I have the honor to state that it is my under- standing that your Excellency's Government desires to pay this balance in thirteen equal annual installments, in connection with the liquidation of the lump sum of $1,300,000, to be paid by Turkey under the Claims Agreement of October 25, 1934, between the United States and Turkey. It is also my understanding that the payment of these installments will begin on June 1, 1936; and will be effected by adding the sum of $1,832.68 to each of the installments of $100,000 payable under the Agreement of October 25, 1934, this amount of $1,832.68 thus paid to be applied, as and when received, solely to the liquidation of this balance of $23,824.86 due my Government. I am authorized by my Government to consent to the liquidation of this balance in the manner above set forth and to consummate the arrangement by an exchange of notes with your Excellency's Govern- ment in the sense of the foregoing, which shall be considered by the two Governments to be binding upon each of them and as supple- menting to that extent the Agreement of October 25, 1934. I avail myself of this occasion to present to you, Mr. Minister, the assurances of my highest consideration. J. V. A .
